10:30 pm isn't technically the middle of the day.

I'm sure glad to see the firearm free zones are working as usual.

Wow, brain fart on my end. When I read it through I thought it said 'AM'... oops

You got this in your LSU e-mail?

Unpossible. Firearms aren't allowed on school grounds.

 

[swagge1]

Oh man, if he was wearing a vest and carrying a gun in a school zone while committing a felony that would be like a hat trick.

is there anymore details available? it says "armed robbery".... but armed robbery doesn't require a firearm IIRC

eta:

§64. Armed robbery

A. Armed robbery is the taking of anything of value belonging to another from the person of another or that is in the immediate control of another, by use of force or intimidation, while armed with a dangerous weapon.

As for as I know, it was email broadcast to all staff, faculty, and students. Or it may have been part of the LSU email/text-message alert system that I signed up for...

You got this in your LSU e-mail?

There's only so many places you can sell those books back to.

I read this in the morning paper.

Why didn't they give a description of the suspect?

Books must have gotten expensive enough to steal now.
He just wanted to learn, damnit.

I sure am glad that I no longer work at that **** hole of a university with those moronic liberal cuntfaced prostitutes running it. I wont tell you how I really feel, it's too vulgar.

Colin, I'm surprised that you would say something so profane against our beloved LSU . I can't tell you the **** I catch at work because I don't care for LSU either and I went there for two and a half years! You won't find any LSU paraphernalia at my house unless its some of my wifes stuff (mostly shirts). She graduated from LSU and doesn't really care for it either. Come to think of it... most of the guys I know that are hard core LSU have never even attended classes there and/or their children are too stupid to make an 18 on the ACT and get accepted. LSU sports is sometimes exciting, but as far as the University... it can suck a fat one.

It's a 22 (act) thanks....

I doubt someone stupid enough to rob a college student (ie everybody uses debit cards, tiger cash, or is dead broke) can figure out how to sell books online.
